Drachenschwanz Brücke, Wooden footbridge in Ronneburg, Germany
The Drachenschwanz Bridge extends for 225 meters across the Gessental valley with heights reaching 25 meters above the ground.
The wooden structure opened on August 4, 2006, specifically constructed for the 2007 Federal Garden Exhibition in Thuringia.
The bridge received its name through a local newspaper contest, with 'Dragon's Tail' reflecting the structure's undulating shape across the landscape.
The bridge features a walking surface made of larch wood planks that measure between 3.0 and 4.3 meters in width throughout its span.
The construction incorporates 1,100 cubic meters of timber and employs an innovative cable-stayed design with slender support columns.
